Well Miark, it seems that Carroll, Larry and David have UTF-8
installed by default. That surprises me somewhat, because citizens
of English-speaking countries rarely need anything besides
us/uk-ascii....
Maybe it's because Mandrake originated here in Europe where most
nations have more than 24 characters and lots of funny accents
etc.. - So Mandrake installs UTF and some iso-charsets as default ?
Anyway, an easy way to check what charsets are installed is :
Open a browser, i.e. Firefox. Select View -->Character Encoding.
